Moot Court is an extracurricular activity at many law schools in which participants take part in simulated court proceedings, usually to include drafting briefs and participating in oral argument. The basic structure of a moot court competition roughly parallels what would happen in actual appellate practice. Mooting is one of the prime academic exercises promoted in GNLU. It is the policy of the University to encourage its students to participate in as many national and international moot court competitions as possible.
